Marianna is a talented and passionate piano teacher. My son has been taking lessons for the second year now after switching from a different teacher and made a significant progress. Marianna prepared him well for an RCM exam and he scored 90 out of 100. She has a nicely decorated music studio in the Eastbridge neighborhood. I highly recommend Marianna for your children.

Marianna is a professional piano teacher. I continue to take her classes online via Skype during the covid-19 period and she has been very responsive and responsible. It is a tough time for everyone but Marianna has put effort to make sure her students keep improving during the lockdown.

Marianna is an amazing and dedicated piano teacher with lots of passion and enthusiasm in teaching music. She has not only a strong technical skill at piano/music and also great ability to motivate students. My two kids have been with Marianna for six years. They love going to her lessons and having her as piano teachers. Thank you Marianna. - Michelle Z

Marianna always encouraged my son to persevere, especially on the days he wanted to quit. She helped develop in him a newfound passion for music. It is thanks to her teaching that my son now finds himself enjoying his time playing the piano. Thank you for everything, Marianna!
